ABOUT THE PRESENTERS
 

Daniel Young & Christian Giroux have been making art together since 2002. Their work takes the form of exhibitions, sculpture, cinema installations, publications and public artworks. Young & Giroux’s practice originated in dialog between architecture and sculpture and has evolved through an engagement with research topics such as the modernity of the mid-century, new building construction, Canada’s infrastructural system, and curtain wall architecture. Recently they completed the public artwork Three Points Where Two Lines Meet for the City of Toronto, and the artist book Berlin 2013/1983 from Arch+ that was short-listed for the Best German Architecture publication.   

Young & Giroux have had solo exhibitions at 8-11, Toronto; The Deutsches Architektur Zentrum, Berlin; TIFF Bell Light Box, Toronto; The Rooms, St. John’s; Carleton University Art Gallery; Oakville Galleries; Musée d’art Contemporain de Montréal; the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, Lethbridge; Mercer Union, Toronto; and Prefix ICA, Toronto. They were awarded the Sobey Art Award in 2011.
